He'll Never Love You
Hayley Kiyoko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I left a mark on your neck
I know that you won't forget
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, I'm the best you've ever had
Yeah 'cause I'm sweet like that
Yeah, you know, yeah, you know
Playing with my fingertips
Sitting there biting your lip
Trying to kiss, who are you trying to trick?
Why don't you just cut the shit?

'Cause baby, you know that you got it
Girl, yeah, you know that you want it
Girl, why can't you just be honest?
With yourself

I know every day you're thinking of me (thinking of me)
I make it better when you're feeling lonely (feeling lonely)
You say that no one will understand
You wish you could but you just can't so
How many days, how many nights
'Til you realize he'll never love you like me?
He'll never love you like me

Talking until 3 A.M
Giving me that look again
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, I'm the drug you never did
Higher than you've ever been
Yeah, you know, yeah, you know
Took me like I was a hit
Addicted but trying to quit
Get over it
Act like you already did
So thirsty, you're drowning in it

'Cause baby, you know that you got it
Girl, yeah, you know that you want it
Girl, why can't you just be honest?
With yourself

I know every day you're thinking of me (thinking of me)
I make it better when you're feeling lonely (feeling lonely)
You say that no one will understand
You wish you could but you just can't so
How many days, how many nights
'Til you realize he'll never love you like me?
He'll never love you like me
'Cause he'll never love you like me
He'll never, never, never, never, never, never (ya boy)
He'll never, never, never, never, never, never (ya boy)

Hold on, you tell me that I'm not the one but
You know what is right, you say is wrong
Playing with my fingertips
Sitting there biting your lip
Trying to kiss, who are you trying to trick?
Why don't you just cut the shit?

'Cause he'll never love you like me
He'll never, never, never, never, never, never
He'll never love you like me
He'll never, never, never, never, never, never
'Cause he'll never love you like me
He'll never, never, never, never, never, never
He'll never love you like me
He'll never, never, never, never, never, never

I know every day you're thinking of me
I make it better when you're feeling lonely
You say that no one will understand
You wish you could but you just can't so




How many days, how many nights
'Til you realize he'll never love you like me?

Overall Meaning

The song "He'll Never Love You" by Hayley Kiyoko seems to be about a woman who is involved with someone else, but is still drawn to the singer. The lyrics suggest that the singer and the woman have had some kind of physical relationship, and even though she is with someone else now, the singer is confident that the woman can never find what they have with someone else. The chorus repeatedly asks how long it will take for her to realize that her current partner can never love her the way that the singer does. The verses describe the intensity of the singer's feelings and how the woman tries to resist but is ultimately unable to stay away.


The lyrics in the chorus are particularly powerful and succinctly capture the central theme of the song. The repetition of the question, "How many days, how many nights, 'til you realize he'll never love you like me?" drives home the message that the singer is trying to convey. It's almost as if the singer is trying to will the woman to come to this realization on her own, rather than try to convince her directly.


Overall, the song seems to be about the kind of intense, all-consuming love that is hard to resist, even if it's not the most practical or realistic choice. It's about being honest with oneself and recognizing that sometimes our hearts can lead us down unexpected paths, regardless of what our brains may be telling us.
